Top 10 Best Earphones Under Rs. 1000 in India 2018

If you are looking for the best earphones under 1000 Rupees, then you are at the right place. In this post, I am going to tell you about the top 10 best earphones under 1000 Rupees in India.

Recently I bought Moto G Plus 4th Gen for my daily use. One of the daily use for which I bought it was listening music. Don’t think I am an audiophile or something like that. I needed to listen music only during commuting to college. But I was dissatisfied with the quality of bundled headphones with Moto G in the box.

It was not any more better than this earphone although it is good as a budget earbud; the only difference was colour as mine were white in colour. The problem with these cheap earbuds(not to be confused with ‘in-ear monitors’ [IEMs]) is that they cause pain in ear, sound poorly detailed and, because of their small size and lack of seal within the ear canal, they are also often woefully lacking in bass response.

So that started the search for in-ear-headphones (also called in-ear monitors, IEMs, earphones, ear canal headphones) for me. IEMs are miniaturized headphones that fit into and ‘seal’ the ear canal, much like standard earplugs.

Many in-ears sound significantly better than traditional headphones or earbuds. Believe me, a pair of really good in ear headphones can assure your daily commute is kept lively and free of the incessant natterings of fellow passengers. I am talking with my experience in DTC buses and Delhi Metro.

Philips SHQ1200 ActionFit Sports In-Ear Headphones are the fourth best earphones under 1000.

These earphones are crafted from high-grade anti-slip rubber, which means that once you slip them into your ears, they’ll stay there securely and comfortably – no matter how long or strenuous your workout.

Specially designed for long workout sessions, these earphones are tough and durable. Their Kevlar-coated cable is well protected against wear and tear, and can withstand extreme environments.

These earphones are ideal for those who like sweating it out in the gym. Crafted with premium water-resistant materials, you can wear them during your heavy-duty workout sessions.

These earphones come with their own clip and pouch for easy cable management and safe storage.

Audio Technica ATH-CLR100 BK are the eleventh best earphones under 1000.

The sound of this earphone is crystal clear & clean, with a great sense of depth and detail. Its ear-fit design provides outstanding sound isolation to guard against outside noise interference. The included travel-friendly collapsible cord wrap makes it easy to carry the earphones without tangling the cord.

Hope you liked our list ! If you have any doubts, suggestions or simply need help or recommendation, you can comment below or contact me through email from Contact Me tab from the top. If you want help regarding any other product than earphones, then you can contact me too.

Hi Tarun, I want to buy earphones with mic for my moto g3 under 1500. Firstly I was thinking of cowon em1 but it is out of stock for almost a week, so please suggest me other options.

aditya chauhanMarch 13, 2016

Have you used them personally. I have read that review but i also found many good reviews so i am confused. Also if they are sports headphones then they should be durable. I am looking for headphones under 500 , i maybe able to stretch to 700 but not above that. And can you tell me about the normal lifespan of headphones and how can we ensure it or is it possible to repair them. My headphones never last that long , i once purchased 1500 rupee sony headphones but they didn't last long either.

Nice post Tarun.I am thinking of buying philips shq 1200 .I don't want the best sound but i need the ones which will last the longest. So can you tell me about the durability of philips shq 1200 and suggest other durable headphones ?Thanks in advance

Hi Tarun… Your reviews are very interesting… Could you Please suggest me an earphone with mic.. I'm using Micromax a106.. And I will change it to lenovo a7000 or xiomi prime 2 or lumia 730..

It was awesome..I want such a earphone with mic but under 1000 . please take care of. noise cancellation . I'm will use earphone for hours a day .. So it should be comfortable for ears…Expecting ur reply.. Soon.. Thank u…..

I have narrowed down to em1 without mic and sennheiser cx 213 and HOM smiley jamaicaI just need them for songs mic is not imp. What is best for price to sound quality ?Em1 is of 750 while other two are availabl @1050 priceI m so confused

Can you please tell me best earphones suited for one plus two under 1000Rs. i am more into bollywood and Hollywood artists like, Enrique, Westlife, Eminem, Bruno Mars, Flo rida etc.. so i am not into heavy metal…Its ok if they are not among the listed….i already own Panasonic Rp-HJE 125….Help Appreciated

Hi Nomaan, it looks like you need an earphone with mic. I would suggest you to go with Cowon EM1. It is the best earphone with mic under ₹ 1000. Without mic, Sennheiser CX 180 is best earphone under ₹ 1000.

Hi tarun . I have used es 18 30 days n got in 500 but today i canot stop myself to order CX 180 in 600. So in this case i think price does not vary much. Now i 1 i have to refund. Suggest me for quality music for my ear n soul. I doesnot matter 4 desine n build quality. Only mattrr quality.

Hi Tarun,Appreciate the great work you're doing.. Keep going..I own a Nokia Lumia 820 (which I might upgrade to 930 later). I am in need of an IEM with audio controls which I can use with Windows Phones. Max budget is 1.5kIf in cacse there are no IEMs with audio controls,which one would you recommend among ES18 and CX180 Street II if I use it to listen to Bollywood songs mostly. I need a durable one with good noise isolation and sound clarity,and also able to wear it while jogging. Thanks in advance 🙂

Vidit VoraOctober 11, 2014

Last Question:-Sennheiser CX 180,Cowon EM1,SoundMagicES18,Creative EP630Are all these compatible with Sony Xperia E?

Piyush SainiOctober 11, 2014

Hi tarun, i need your help buddy between choosing SoundMagic ES18 & Sennheiser CX 180. i need to which has better sound quality with clarity. and i have seen video of unboxing of both IEM's. i found SoundMagic ES18 cable is very stiff and double housing cable, will that be a problem?, on the other hand Sennheiser CX 180 look is classy and cable is smooth in looking in videos. But now i'm confuse between these two in choosing. In your reply's i found that SoundMagic ES18 has got better response from you. you tell which one i should go with. reply buddy ASAP.

Hi Vidit,I have used Sennheiser CX 180 and can personally confirm that they don't sound like cheap bundled earphones.They have good bass.I can't comment about Cowon EM1 since I have not used them but they are praised for their solid build quality and good bass.

Vidit VoraOctober 10, 2014

Does the sound quality of Sennheiser CX 180 so average that they sound like cheap Samsung bundled earphones? Do they have good bass?I have also read reviews saying Cowon EM1 have good build quality but they cannot deliver the full bass which they can,but cannot do so in less sound amplifying smartphones like Xperia E as in my case,is the bass really so mediocre? Have you got hands on sound experience on Cowon EM1,if yes,then how was the bass and overall music quality according to you? Sorry for asking too many questions.help will be again appreciated.

Hi Vidit !I read your comment and came to the conclusion that Cowon EM1 is the best for you since you need durability and good sound quality.

Varun PatilOctober 10, 2014

I've bought Moto E. I want to buy earphones. I'll use them only for leisure at home and on long journeys. I don't want to use them on roads to avoid the risk. Which earphones will be good for me? The stock earphones of Motorola cause itching in my ears. Are IEM earphones better or over the head headphones.????

Vidit VoraOctober 10, 2014

Hey Tarun,great review there!I have a few queries rather concerns I must say,I am planning to buy an IEM under 1Kbut at the moment I am very very confused about which one to buy,your help will be really appreciated.The IEMs which I have shortlisted areSennheiser CX 180Cowon Em1Creative-EP 630Sound Magic ES18Initially i was inclined towards SM ES18 reading the reviews about its audiophilic sound but when i read they come with a cheap build quality,my mind was changed.I moved to sennheiser cx180,that had good reviews about its build quality and also offering a 2 yr manufacturer warranty but when I read about the sound reviews,some said they were simply rubbish and they sounded quite similar to cheap samsung earphones bundled with mobiles,that changed my mind again and I moved to creative ep630,that had a good review about sound,a little less than sound magic es18 but their build quality and durability was a question of doubt after reading some of the reviews.My final IEM was Cowon EM1,never heard of them just like sound magic ES18 but had little but praising reviews about its build quality as well as in terms of sound,they had good reviews.So my final question to you is,I like Sennheiser CX180 due to its durability and but is it's sound quality real good or do they really sound like cheap Samsung earphones?I was very determined to buy the sound magic but I heard they were of very less durability,so less that even after taking care they break in one year.CowonEM1 has good reviews about duarbility as well as sound quality but I have never heard of them and I think I would face problems availing my warranty and are they good noise isolating IEM?Dont have much idea but Creative-EP630,good sound I have heard but heard duarbility and the build quality sucks,what do you think?Please tarun help me,I am looking for a good sound quality(not like cheap IEMs bundled with handsets) IEM,great durability and okay okay sound isolation and which are compatible with my Sony Xperia E.Which among the four would best suit me according to my requirement and concerns? Help will be really appreciated tarun,sorry for writing such a big comment and thanx for reading it entirely.

Hi Vikky,you must have got a defective product.Get it replaced b Flipkart.If you don't believe me about this earphone,read reviews by others on web and on this page too.

Vikky DonOctober 7, 2014

hi tarun i have a doubt that are you getting any kind of benifits from soundmagic as you are refering this most . why i am saying this means i am using this for past 5 days bought it frm flipkart for 630 bucks for black version but didnt felt great it kinda normal one without much bass or much treble . adding another shock flipkart discontinued this product as they would not do this for fast moving or good one ?

Avesh VermaOctober 6, 2014

Only one time? The Official site says to do it atleast 10 days, 4 hours per day to sum up to 40 hours at least.

gurtej singhOctober 6, 2014

Sirr i have a galaxy note 3 .i want to buy good bass over head headphone plssse suggest me the best one

You have to do it only one time after you buy the earphones i.e. immediately after buying.

Deepak KumarOctober 2, 2014

Hey Tarun,

Would the Magic of ES18 be there with the new android one devices?I have the Micromax Canvas A1. I hope there isn't any compatibility issues.

Thanks.

Avesh VermaOctober 2, 2014

Tarun, Will SOUNDMAGIC ES18 BS and SOUNDMAGIC ES18 sound the same? Apart from mic, any other difference?

Avesh VermaOctober 2, 2014

Thanks a lot Tarun! I really liked your post and it's undoubtedly beneficial for someone like me. Thank you for helping me out. I would try the burn-in process, And Last question, can you tell me how often do I have to burn every day?

priyank sisaudiyaOctober 2, 2014

Hi Tarun,

This is Priyank.Actually main problem i have faced everytime is either one earbud stopped working or got less sound in comparision of another one that cause sound imbalance when we use them OR we got wire damage as we had to shake it for proper voice.

So i am in need to ask if there is any earpiece who is more reliable as well as good sound quality.thank you

I have checked with flipkart and they say that as per the updates the warranty is of 1 year.

Thanks..

Avesh VermaSeptember 28, 2014

Hey Tarun! I currently own Moto X and I wanted something which one should feel expectional. I had Sennheiser CX 180 Street 2 Which I recently lost somewhere. Kindly suggest me so that I finalize a.s.a.p.

g.govardhanSeptember 25, 2014

Want a in earphone with mic, from comments narrowed down to soundwire ES18S. However got to see a low volume feedback in flipkart. your feedback would be helpful.

RahulDPSeptember 25, 2014

Hi Tarun,

Can you confirm about the durability and warranty of SoundMagic ES18 because Flipkart says 6 months manufacturer warranty while amazon, snapdeal, homeshop18 says 1 year manufacturer warranty. Also I saw the black color ES18 on Flipkart from WS retail but couldn't find black color on any other website. I liked the black color and would like to buy it but I am confused if it is a genuine product or not.

Therefore should I buy the black color ES18 with 6 months manufacturer warranty from flipkart or should look for some other color on some other shopping site with more warranty. I really liked the black color and wanted to buy. Please help me with this.

Hi Sanchit,don't go with Sennheiser and Skullcandy at this range.These are good-looking but bad in sound effects.SoundMagic may be unpopular,being a company from China but its products at low budget are awesome.

Hi Nitin,out of these 3,I have tried SoundMagic ES18 and Sennheiser CX 180.ES18 is the overall winner in every aspect including bass,treble and other sound effects etc.So go with SoundMagic ES18 on Snapdeal.

and SoundMagic ES18 is compatible with Nokia XL dual sim phone or not?and please suggest me two more options.last thing, can you tell me about best water resistant or splash or rain resistant earphones under 1k budget for my phone as i work in water park, good and durable too!you are doing a fine job here bro!

Nitin SoamSeptember 17, 2014

I have sony mdr220 lp and i'm totally satisfied with base n all…so if tried these, tell me which is better among creative ep630 (most popular and bassy they say), sennheiser cx 180 (overall perfect) and SM es18 (everyone is giving 5 star)..Bass is my first choice but it shouldn't ruin the quality of rest of sound effects..Please suggest with some explanation…thanks in advance

vpSeptember 17, 2014

AbhishekSeptember 16, 2014

Hello Tarun!

Great review! Can you suggest a good headphone for Xiaomi mi3? Thanks in advance.

Hey Shivendra,if you are going with eBay,go with a trusted seller.The product looks good.

Kuldeep SinghSeptember 8, 2014

Hi Tarun, great review. I had a SoundMagic ES 18 for my iPhone 4, but they were stolen. I'm thinking of buying them again. However, can you suggest me a good music headset with iphone volume controls in this budget?

shivendra vivswanSeptember 5, 2014

it is available for 1071 on ebay, with manufacturers warranty.is it a good buy?

E V RaviSeptember 4, 2014

Hi tarun,can you tell me whether skullcandy will work for Nokia Lumia 630 or not?

Hi Alan,two earphones worth mentioning from Tekfusion are Ecoofers and Twinwoofers.They don't come with volume controller and are compatible with Lumia 620.But buy it only if you are comfortable doing 'Burn-In' process of earphones because without it,you will have a negative experience with Tekfusion earphones.Read the Burn-In Guide at Tekfusion's site.

Hey alan,there is no difference between ES18 Red and ES18 Green .Avtually I think the problem is with the seller.ES18 Red is sold by WS Retail which is the seller name of Flipkart while ES18 Green is sold by some other seller who might be selling duplicate model of ES18 Green.That's why I always buy from WS Retail on Flipkart and recommend you to do the same.

alanSeptember 3, 2014

Ho tarun, why there is sound quality difference between es18 red and es18 green? Green is not upto the mark. Looks like duplicate.

alanSeptember 2, 2014

Give some reviews on Tekfusion. Does it support in Lumia 620? If yes then which model? Does it have a volume controller? What's the quality?

Vedant ShrivastavaSeptember 2, 2014

Hey Tarun, I wanted to know whether or not Soundmagic ES 18 earphones are compatible with Nexus 7 and Micromax Canvas A116?

Harpreet SinghSeptember 2, 2014

Hey Tarun, Suggest me a earphone for Xperia sp, I have bought a es18 for my other phone Moto E they are very comfortable and offers a little bit noise cancelling but they are not as much durable and offers a low sound.Please suggest a earphone with good noise cancelling and high sound quality.Thank You

Ravi RickySeptember 2, 2014

hey Tarun, thanks for the info. Can you suggest me the best earphones for my Apple4 with good base and music clarity?

chetan chawlaSeptember 2, 2014

Tell me that Sennheiser CX 180 and SoundMagic ES 18 are compatible with micromaxa116 or not.

Harpreet SinghSeptember 2, 2014

Please suggest a good earphone for Sony xperia sp with high quality sound, good noise canceliing and with mic.Recently bought a Soundmagic es18 for moto e not giving a decent output on my Sony phone.Thank you.

Hi VaibhavI think you have mistyped CX180 as CX120.Anyways yes Sennheiser CX 180 is compatible with Moto X but it does not come with a mic.The best headphone with mic under 1500 bucks best compatible with Moto X is SoundMagic ES18S.

Hi Tarun,I just wanted to know if sennheiser cx120 street ii is compatible with moto x and does it have a mic?Secondly, which is the best headphone with mic under 1500 bucks best compatible with moto x?Looking forward for your speedy response.

Vikram BansalAugust 25, 2014

Hey tarun. I am damn confused bw es18 and cx180. Pls suggest which one is better on durability. Coz cx180s got a 2yr warranty while es18 has 6 months. Also tell me where can I find soundmagic service centre near delhi.

alanAugust 24, 2014

Thanx for the suggestion tarun, I buyed es18, they are awesome. Now pls tell me a headphone for Lumia 620, which have a sound adjuster and prev and next option also, under 1k

Hi SachinSoundMagic ES18S earphones come with mic and have been launched in 2 colour combinations – Black & Silver and Red & Black – recently on Flipkart.They are the same as ES18 but come with mic.So yes,they have the same quality as that of ES18.

Hey tarun, wt about the es18s? They come with a mic, but is the sound quality same as that of es 18?

sriAugust 23, 2014

Hey tarun. I read in a cutomer review in amazon that soundmagic es 18 dont work properly for galaxy s4. I am using a galaxy s4. Can you confirm this? Which other eraphones are best for galaxy s4 below 1000.

Hi abhi,Skullcandy 2XL Spoke X2SPCZ-810 is compatible with Samsung Galaxy S3 but had I been in your place,I would not have bought it.There are many good headphones at that price range.Just because of Skullcandy brand,don't buy mediocre headphones.

I have a samsung s3 and i just ordered skullcandy 2xl spoke x2spcz-810 .. so what do u think whether i should cancel this or buy this??

Hi E V Ravi,both SoundMagic ES18 and Sennheiser CX 180 are compatible with Nokia Lumia 630.Now about Sennheiser CX 180 vs SoundMagic ES18,since I am using SoundMagic ES18,I am a bit biased towards it but I also checked Sennheiser CX 180 of my friend and found it low in bass than SoundMagic ES18.

Hi….I own a Nokia 620 and I'm looking for In-The-Ear headset which are compatible with it. Initially i was using Skullcandy S2SBFY -058 Smokin' Buds ( too specific? ) which worked very good but also had very short life. So I guess I don't want Skullcandy again. Read the reviews about Skullcandy… Bose…Beats saying they are overrated. Long story short, I want earphones under 1000 with good bass and noise cancellation and i'm absolutely lost……. A little help ?

Hi Anirban, although I had my hands-on Asus Zenfone 5 A501CG in Asus Zenphone launch event,I did not try it with any of the headphones.Under 1K, both Sennheiser CX 180 and SoundMagic ES18 provide good bass,treble and noise cancellation. Moreover,I have forwarded your query regarding compatibility to Flipkart Customer Care.I will inform you once I get the answer from them.

hi tarun thanks for helping all of us with the info.i just wanted to ask if the sennheiser cx180 has a mic which i could use for calling .or any other earphones that look really good and have a mic in it so i could use them for calling as well as listening music.thanks in advance!!!

Go with SoundMagic ES18 because it has best bass and sound quality.It does not come with mic and you can control volume with your mobile and laptop.

Hi Tarun,

Thanks a lot for the info !Please see my requirement below.

I would be purchasing Moto E and Moto G. Please let me know the best earplugs with Mic. Mainly, the earplugs supplied by Moto is really pathetic for me as my ears cant hold those type of earplugs.

I have bought black Sound Magic ES 18 for Rs 599 from Flipkart and it's compatible with Moto G.I have checked it personally and currently using it with Moto G.You can be sure with Sound Magic ES 18 for your music needs with Moto G but it doesn't come with mic.

Finally which ear phone did u buy for ur Moto G?. Even I have purchased Moto g, and dissatisfied with the bundled earphones. Which one among the five above is best suited for Moto G?. Some earphones are not compatible with certain handset models.. Please let me know if Sound Magic ES 18 is compatible with Moto G and have u checked it personally? I dont want to regret after investing extra for headphones..
